Deadtime Stories (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Beast of Baskerville - full transcript
Boo!
[ screaming ]
you guys! You scared me!
All right, in the tent.
It's time for
a Deadtime Story.
So what do you have for us
this time?
It's called
"The Beast of Baskerville,"
and I think you guys
are really gonna like it.
[ giggles ]
so, what's it about?
Well, it's about
Adam Riley and his friends,
who learn a little too late that
The Beast of Baskerville
is not just a legend,
and that
the streets of Baskerville
aren't safe...
Especially after dark.
[ gasps ]
okay, are you guys
ready to be scared?
Yeah.
Okay.
Chapter one.
"Adam Riley started to sweat
"as he and his best friend,
Eugene Nazzaro,
"approached
the long gravel drive
"that snaked its way up to
"the creepy, old house
on the hill.
"it was the Leeds house,
"the place where The Beast
of Baskerville had been born,
"the house where
the sniveling, snorting,
subhuman creature lived now."
This is not
a good idea.
I know, I know.
But if I don't
tell J.J. that
I'm not coming to his
stupid birthday party tonight
and give him
his stupid birthday present,
my mom won't let us
sleep out.
Did you tell your mom that
nobody's going to
his stupid birthday party?
It didn't help.
She thinks
the only reason nobody likes him
is because he lives in
the beast's old house.
My mom says
it's impossible for J.J. to
make any friends
outside of the neighborhood
because
he doesn't go to school.
He doesn't have to
go to school, remember?
He's a genius.
I told her that even if
J.J. lived in the white house,
he still
wouldn't have any friends,
because he's a stupid,
rotten, loogie-spitting,
little booger-ball.
But she
doesn't want to hear it.
So, can we please
just get this over with?
What's the problem now?
I just want to make sure
we make it
up Deadman's Hill alive.
It's a driveway, Eugene.
Come on.
Yeah, the one
The Beast of Baskerville
drags all of his victims up
before he tears them to shreds
and buries them
in his well.
What well?
Do you see a well
on this property?
It is probably hidden.
How do you hide a 3,000-pound
tunnel made out of stone?
Who knows? Anything's possible
when witches are involved.
What witches?
Jimmy Leeds' mother
and her friends.
Don't you remember
the story?
Yeah,
I remember the story.
Elvira Leeds
married a human,
so the other witches
in her coven cursed her.
They turned her husband into
a three-headed newt
with only one eye.
And when Jimmy was born,
he was half-human
and half-beast.
He was so horrible, Elvira
threw him down the well to die.
And now, every so often,
he climbs out of the well
to feed on
the kids of Baskerville.
It's just a stupid legend,
Eugene.
There is no well,
and there is no beast,
and there aren't
any witches, either.

What are you doing
on my property?
Nothing,
we came to see J.J.,
the kid that lives here.
You! Get over here.
So, what do you want with
my J.J.?
Your J.J.?
Yes, my J.J.
I am his mother,
after all.
Is that
surprising to you?
[ whimpers ]
so, what do you
want with him?
'cause he's not here.
I'm looking for
the little beast myself.
Uh, we just wanted to
tell him that
we're sorry
we can't make it to
his birthday party
tonight.
What birthday party?
Well, well, well.
Looks like
the little genius
thinks he can put one over
on me, does he?
Looks like he's in for
another rude awakening.
Give her the present,
and let's get out of here!
Anyway,
would you just tell J.J.
We're sorry we can't make it to
his birthday party tonight
and give him
his present?
Keep your stupid present!
There isn't gonna be
a birthday party for J.J.,
not ever!
Mrs. Leeds
is really mean!
And really creepy.
I'm glad
she's not my mom.
Babysitter: me, too.
"Adam and Eugene
weren't about to
"argue with Mrs. Leeds,
"so they raced down
the driveway,
only to run into
another Leeds in the street."
Hey! Watch where
you're going, you jerk!
Elvira: J.J.!
Get your butt up here
now!
What's my mom
doing outside?
She never goes outside.
S-she said
she was looking for you.
You guys
talked to my mom?
You guys didn't tell her about
my party tonight, did you?
What's all this nonsense about
a birthday party?
We don't celebrate birthdays
in this house,
and we don't throw parties,
either.
Birthday parties
are for other people.
Now,
get back to the house,
and get to your chores.
[ grunts ] oww.
You guys are gonna
be sorry for this!
Dead sorry!
Watch what you're doing!
You almost
smashed my fingers again!
Well, I can't hit the spike
unless you hold it steady.
I can't hold it steady
if you keep
smashing my fingers again!
You're making
the entire tent lopsided.
Hey, guys.
Hey, what's up?
Eugene, what happened to
your tent?
It's all lopsided.
Uh, we built it that way
on purpose,
so it would be
bigger inside.
Why? What are you
gonna do,
put a porta-potty
in there this year?
You wouldn't think
it was so funny
if you were the one with
poison ivy all over your butts.
Hey, Eugene!
Look what I've got!
It's The Beast of
Baskerville's leg.
And it's filled with
his blood.
Eww. gross.
That's disgusting.
It's not the beast's
leg. it's just filled
with tomato juice.
Why would you tell them?
Sorry.
[ sighs ]
my dad got it
in Venezuela.
It's a hollowed-out
part of a cow's leg.
Cool, isn't it?
No.
No.
Too bad you weren't
on Deadman's Hill
with that thing earlier.
Eugene would've
had a heart attack.
You guys were
on Deadman's Hill?
I had to tell J.J. I wasn't
coming to his birthday party.
What?
Don't freak.
I didn't say anything
about you guys.
He has no idea
about tent night.
Did you see the beast
on the hill?
Mnh-mnh.
That's 'cause he's probably
down in the well,
planning his attack.
Tonight's
the anniversary of
the night where
every kid in Baskerville
got eaten by the beast.
Before tent night is up,
we're all gonna be
face-to-face with Jimmy Leeds.
[ kids chattering ]
Hey, Eugene.
What's with the bat?
We're playing
kick-the-can.
He's protecting himself
from the beast.
[ laughter ]
want some beast blood?
Are we gonna play
this stupid game or what?
Chill out, nancy.
We're playing.
How many of us
are there?
Adam: 13.
Cool.
That means odd man's out.
Who's the odd man? You?
Ha ha! Very funny.
Ha! Eugene's it.
[ sighs ]
so, let's
go over the rules.
When Eugene starts to count,
we have 30 seconds to hide.
Then Eugene will
come looking for us.
If he sees you,
he has to tap the can
three times on the ground.
Once you're caught,
you're Eugene's prisoner.
The only way you can escape
is if someone else
kicks the can.
Got it?
[ all murmur in agreement ]
okay, then.
Let's do this thing.
But be careful out there.
The beast may be joining us.
What's he doing?
Look at him. he's just
standing there with his bat.
Hey, Eugene!
We've been out here
for like 20 minutes already!
Are you gonna try to catch us,
or what?
Yeah, as soon as you
come out where I can see you!
[ sighs ]
Eugene, look out!
Hey! What's --
what's your problem?
What's my problem?
You jerk!
You just
smushed my hats!
You're just lucky
it's my birthday.
Otherwise,
I'd kill you for this!
Oh, no.
Booger boy is here.
Don't even try to
run away from me, Dougie.
I know you guys are
having tent night tonight,
and I know you weren't
coming to my party.
Nancy:
what's he doing here?
I'm bringing my birthday party
to you guys.
I got hats
for the crowd.
Seriously?
So, who wants one?
The one that says "birthday boy"
is mine.
Are we gonna
play kick-the-can, or what?
With booger boy?
Yes, with booger boy.
Sorry, J.J.
Okay, I'll be it,
so that way,
we don't have to
shoot it out again.
[ laughter ]
seriously?
26, 27...
28, 29...
30.
What are you doing?
You're supposed to be
hiding.
There's no way I'm hiding
with
J.J. and the beast
on the loose.
I'm sticking with you.
[ groans ] fine.
Keep your eyes out
for nancy.
She shouldn't be
hard to spot.
No, you keep your eyes out
for nancy.
I'm keeping mine on
you-know-who.
[ clanging ]
what the heck was that?
The can, Eugene.
One of the clowns
must've kicked it.
Come on.
[ clunking ]
[ heavy breathing ]
so, who kicked the can?
Nobody kicked it.
Nobody was even in prison.
Well,
somebody kicked it.
I mean,
look at this thing.
Nancy: hey,
where's booger boy?
J.J., you freakazoid!
Get out here!
He probably
kicked the can and went home
because everyone
was picking on him.
Or maybe
the beast got him.
Yeah.
Maybe the beast
ate booger boy.
Cut it out, you guys.
Enough with the beast already.
Adam: Yeah, I say we just
forget about J.J.
And keep playing the game.
Is everyone in?
All: yes.
[ owl hoots ]
[ clanking ]
[ gasps ]
that's it.
I've had it with Dougie.
I swear I'm gonna
cram that can up his nose!
It's not Dougie,
is it?
It's the beast,
isn't it?
And he's really playing
kick-the-can?
Yep.
Only he's definitely
not playing by the rules.
[ heavy breathing ]
[ wolf howls ]
come on, Dougie!
Enough is enough!
[ sighs ]
just
get out here already!
I'm done with
this stupid game.
Emma and I are
going back to our tent
to have some cupcakes.
Later, fools.
Did anybody see where
Dougie and Travis
were hiding?
Yeah. they were down by
the sewer pipe.
Come on.
Let's go find them.
Hey.
Mm?
[ branch snaps ]
what was that?
Look.
Adam: they're deer prints,
Eugene.
There are deer
all over these woods.
I don't know, Adam.
These are kind of big
to be deer prints.
You know what?
You're right.
They're not deer prints.
They're cow prints.
What? There's
no cows in these woods.
No, but there's
a cow leg.
Dougie's canteen.
Give me the flashlight.
Hey, Dougie!
We know you and Travis
are hiding in there.
So why don't you just
give it up and come out
so we can
finish playing the game?
[ roar ]
cow hoof, my butt!
That's the beast!
I'm telling you guys --
it's Dougie.
Listen.
[ roars ]
[ roar echoes ]
[ screaming ]
Eugene!
Come on!
The beast
got Shauna and Jen,
and that's
all that's left of them --
one stinking shoe
and a hair clip.
That is
Shauna's sneaker.
And that's definitely
Jen's hair clip.
And they're both sitting in
a puddle of tomato juice
from Dougie's cow leg.
But you just said Dougie was
in the sewer pipe.
I bet there are
two openings to that pipe.
If that's tomato juice,
stick your finger in there
and taste it.
I'm not tasting
dirty tomato juice.
You are if you're gonna
prove that you're right.
Fine. [ sighs ]
girl:
the beast is after us!
That's Shauna and Jen,
and I bet
they're with
Dougie and Travis.
I say we split up
and try to catch these guys
at their own game.
Okay,
I'm telling you guys,
if we just stay quiet
and hidden for a few minutes,
Dougie will surface.
I hate to say this,
but...
We don't have
very many minutes left.
What do you mean?
It's 11:30,
and in a half an hour,
it's gonna be midnight.
And what happens then --
you turn into a pumpkin
or something?
No.
We'd all turn into
the beast's stew.
Don't you get it?
It's the beast's
anniversary.
He's probably trying to
eat his way
through the neighborhood
before midnight.
And where did you
get that idea?
All: Dougie.
Great.
I don't want to
wait out here
for another
half an hour.
Girl:
help us! Somebody help us!
Look.
Nancy even left us a trail.
Dougie must've been
planning this for weeks,
and now he's
got everyone in on it.
And I bet you they're all
hiding in this pipe.
Whoa. check it out.
There is another exit
to this sewer pipe.
Stacey: eww.
I think I
stepped on something.
I thought you said
there was no well!
I mean, "how do you hide
a 3,000-pound tunnel
made out of stone?"
Does this
answer your question?!
Well, at least
you were wrong
about
the anniversary part,
because
we're all still alive.
I think we ought to
get out of here.
Boy:
Hey, guys! Down here!
It's Dougie.
Hey,
Dougie, you jerk!
What are you doing
down there?
I'm not so sure
that was Dougie.
I am.
[ squeaks ]
aah!
It was just a lizard,
Eugene.
No, that wasn't
a lizard.
That was
Elvira Leeds' husband,
Jimmy Leeds' father,
the three-headed newt.
I'm telling you,
that was him!
You're out of your mind.
I'm out of my mind?
You are hanging over
the side of
Jimmy Leeds' well,
and I'm the crazy one?
I don't think so, pal!
I can't believe
you're doing this.
Just lower us slowly.
And get us up fast.
[ pulley creaking ]
this really is
Jimmy Leeds' well.
Let's get out of here.
Eugene,
get us out of here!
Eugene!
Chris!
What's going on
up there?
As soon as I
get up there, stace,
I'll crank you up,
I promise.
Just make it fast.
[ rope creaks ]
Eugene?
Chris?
[ grunts ]
[ screams ]
stacey?
Are you okay?
What's going on down there?
J.J.: I'll tell you
what's going on down here.
The Beast of Baskerville
is throwing
a little party,
and your
stupid friend stacey
just got herself invited.
Am I talking to myself,
or do you hear me up there?
Adam: Calm down, J.J.
Calm down!?
It's 12:30 already.
The beast's party is gonna be
over in 22 minutes.
Did the beast
drag you down?
No! I got
tossed down here.
Everyone else
got dragged.
Why don't you climb down here
and try to save everybody?
There's no time.
We need help.
I'm gonna
go get your mom.
[ deep voice ] no!
J.J.?
[ heavy breathing ]
[ roars ]
Adam: [ screams ]
if you wake up my mother,
I will
rip your lungs out!
Just don't eat me!
I'm not going to eat you.
I'm gonna take you to
that birthday party
you were
trying to get out of.
You're taking me to
J.J.'s party?
I am J.J.
James Joseph Leeds.
I only turn into the beast
at the hour of my birth,
which is 10:58 p.m.
I stay that way
until sunrise,
at which point,
I turn back into a human.
But how come you're not
like 200 years old
during the day?
13 Romanian witches
cursed me.
So when I'm human,
I'm eternally stuck at that age,
which really stinks,
because I can never grow up --
unless, of course,
I break the curse.
And how do you do that?
By throwing myself
a birthday party.
So all you have to do
to break the curse
is to get 13 humans to
sing "happy birthday" to you?
Yeah. in Romanian.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
[ growls ]
[ grunts ]
only one kid has to sing,
really.
But 13 people
have to be there
and watch me
blow out my candles
before the 13th hour.
Then I can
live a normal life.
I only get
one shot at this
every 13th year,
after the full moon,
on the 13th day of the month
before my birth.
Do you have any idea
how hard it is
to keep track of
that stuff?
Good thing I'm a genius.
[ all grunting ]
[ growls ]
oh, my gosh.
Is he okay?
Yeah, he's fine.
He just passed out
when I grabbed him,
and, uh, I don't know --
I didn't bother
tying him up.
Okay. just let me
ask you this one question.
What?
What's with
all the elephants?
Oh. nothing.
I just
really like elephants.
Listen to me, guys.
The beast
is really J.J. --
James Joseph Leeds.
And J.J.'s mom
really is Elvira.
J.J. does not like
being the beast,
and he's not the beast
all the time.
He only turns into the beast
at 10:58 p.m.
Right?
Right.
J.J. wants to be normal.
The only way
that can happen
is by breaking the curse.
And the only way
that can happen
is if I sing him
"Happy Birthday" in Romanian.
And you guys --
you just have to
watch him
blow out his candles.
You got it?
[ all murmur in agreement ]
♪ Multa traiasca,

"Jimmy" now, right?
Yeah.
I have to say,
I'm pretty impressed.
You learn very quickly.
Thanks, I just
really don't want to die.
Ah.
♪ Jimmy sa traiasca ♪
♪ La multa -- ♪
[ gasps ]
what did I tell you
about birthday parties?
What are you trying to do,
get rid of me?
No, mommy. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it, mommy.
Sorry isn't good enough.
As soon as I
get close to Mrs. Leeds,
you've got to
get her attention.
This better not
get me killed.
...a stinking,
hairy imbecile!
Hey, Mrs. Leeds,
do you think it's possible
if we could get
some, uh, cake or something
before you, you know --
blow, Jimmy! Blow!
[ blowing ]
yes! I did it!
You did it, all right!
It's dead time for you,
mister.
Adam, watch out!
[ groaning sigh ]
[ inhales deeply ]
it's not over, is it?
Let's just say the legend
is about to live on.
Hey, Jimmy, so,
what are you gonna do
now that, you know --
my dad's still here.
Yeah,
but he's a newt.
Not anymore.
He should be
human again.
Finally, we'll get to
do something together
besides catching bugs.
That's cool.
[ chuckles ]
I bet you were born at 1:17,
huh, Dougie?
Yeah. why?
[ laughter ]
girl: what's going on?
[ kids murmuring ]
and what about you,
nancy?
About the same?
[ gasps ]
what's going on,
Jimmy?
In the witch club
my mother belonged to,
there was
no curse-breaking,
just
curse-transference.
That means that
you guys are now cursed.
Every day
at the hour of your births,
you'll all
turn into beasts.
But don't worry.
13 years after
the moon is full,
on the 13th day of the month
before your birthday,
you'll know what to do
to get out of it.
What?
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, I'm just
messing with you.
[ sighs ]
you don't have to worry about
the moon.
[ all scream ]
see you later, suckers!
[ both scream ]
[ screaming continues ]
[ screaming ]
you guys! You scared me!
All right, in the tent.
It's time for
a Deadtime Story.
So what do you have for us
this time?
It's called
"The Beast of Baskerville,"
and I think you guys
are really gonna like it.
[ giggles ]
so, what's it about?
Well, it's about
Adam Riley and his friends,
who learn a little too late that
The Beast of Baskerville
is not just a legend,
and that
the streets of Baskerville
aren't safe...
Especially after dark.
[ gasps ]
okay, are you guys
ready to be scared?
Yeah.
Okay.
Chapter one.
"Adam Riley started to sweat
"as he and his best friend,
Eugene Nazzaro,
"approached
the long gravel drive
"that snaked its way up to
"the creepy, old house
on the hill.
"it was the Leeds house,
"the place where The Beast
of Baskerville had been born,
"the house where
the sniveling, snorting,
subhuman creature lived now."
This is not
a good idea.
I know, I know.
But if I don't
tell J.J. that
I'm not coming to his
stupid birthday party tonight
and give him
his stupid birthday present,
my mom won't let us
sleep out.
Did you tell your mom that
nobody's going to
his stupid birthday party?
It didn't help.
She thinks
the only reason nobody likes him
is because he lives in
the beast's old house.
My mom says
it's impossible for J.J. to
make any friends
outside of the neighborhood
because
he doesn't go to school.
He doesn't have to
go to school, remember?
He's a genius.
I told her that even if
J.J. lived in the white house,
he still
wouldn't have any friends,
because he's a stupid,
rotten, loogie-spitting,
little booger-ball.
But she
doesn't want to hear it.
So, can we please
just get this over with?
What's the problem now?
I just want to make sure
we make it
up Deadman's Hill alive.
It's a driveway, Eugene.
Come on.
Yeah, the one
The Beast of Baskerville
drags all of his victims up
before he tears them to shreds
and buries them
in his well.
What well?
Do you see a well
on this property?
It is probably hidden.
How do you hide a 3,000-pound
tunnel made out of stone?
Who knows? Anything's possible
when witches are involved.
What witches?
Jimmy Leeds' mother
and her friends.
Don't you remember
the story?
Yeah,
I remember the story.
Elvira Leeds
married a human,
so the other witches
in her coven cursed her.
They turned her husband into
a three-headed newt
with only one eye.
And when Jimmy was born,
he was half-human
and half-beast.
He was so horrible, Elvira
threw him down the well to die.
And now, every so often,
he climbs out of the well
to feed on
the kids of Baskerville.
It's just a stupid legend,
Eugene.
There is no well,
and there is no beast,
and there aren't
any witches, either.

Your J.J.?
Yes, my J.J.
I am his mother,

Is that

I'm looking for

What birthday party?
Well, well, well.
Looks like
the little genius
thinks he can put one over
on me, does he?
Looks like he's in for
another rude awakening.
Give her the present,

We don't celebrate birthdays

Birthday parties
are for other people.
Now,
get back to the house,
and get to your chores.
[ grunts ] oww.
You guys are gonna
be sorry for this!
Dead sorry!
Watch what you're doing!
You almost
smashed my fingers again!
Well, I can't hit the spike
unless you hold it steady.
I can't hold it steady
if you keep
smashing my fingers again!
You're making
the entire tent lopsided.
Hey, guys.
Hey, what's up?
Eugene, what happened to
your tent?
It's all lopsided.
Uh, we built it that way
on purpose,
so it would be
bigger inside.
Why? What are you
gonna do,
put a porta-potty
in there this year?
You wouldn't think
it was so funny
if you were the one with
poison ivy all over your butts.
Hey, Eugene!
Look what I've got!
It's The Beast of
Baskerville's leg.
And it's filled with
his blood.
Eww. gross.
That's disgusting.
It's not the beast's
leg. it's just filled
with tomato juice.
Why would you tell them?
Sorry.
[ sighs ]
my dad got it
in Venezuela.
It's a hollowed-out
part of a cow's leg.
Cool, isn't it?
No.
No.
Too bad you weren't
on Deadman's Hill
with that thing earlier.
Eugene would've
had a heart attack.
You guys were
on Deadman's Hill?
I had to tell J.J. I wasn't
coming to his birthday party.
What?
Don't freak.
I didn't say anything
about you guys.
He has no idea
about tent night.
Did you see the beast
on the hill?
Mnh-mnh.
That's 'cause he's probably
down in the well,
planning his attack.
Tonight's
the anniversary of
the night where
every kid in Baskerville
got eaten by the beast.
Before tent night is up,
we're all gonna be
face-to-face with Jimmy Leeds.
[ kids chattering ]
Hey, Eugene.
What's with the bat?
We're playing
kick-the-can.
He's protecting himself
from the beast.
[ laughter ]
want some beast blood?
Are we gonna play
this stupid game or what?
Chill out, nancy.
We're playing.
How many of us
are there?
Adam: 13.
Cool.
That means odd man's out.
Who's the odd man? You?
Ha ha! Very funny.
Ha! Eugene's it.
[ sighs ]
so, let's
go over the rules.
When Eugene starts to count,
we have 30 seconds to hide.
Then Eugene will
come looking for us.
If he sees you,
he has to tap the can
three times on the ground.
Once you're caught,
you're Eugene's prisoner.
The only way you can escape
is if someone else
kicks the can.
Got it?
[ all murmur in agreement ]
okay, then.
Let's do this thing.
But be careful out there.
The beast may be joining us.
What's he doing?
Look at him. he's just
standing there with his bat.
Hey, Eugene!
We've been out here
for like 20 minutes already!
Are you gonna try to catch us,
or what?
Yeah, as soon as you
come out where I can see you!
[ sighs ]
Eugene, look out!
Hey! What's --
what's your problem?
What's my problem?
You jerk!
You just
smushed my hats!
You're just lucky
it's my birthday.
Otherwise,
I'd kill you for this!
Oh, no.
Booger boy is here.
Don't even try to
run away from me, Dougie.
I know you guys are
having tent night tonight,
and I know you weren't
coming to my party.
Nancy:
what's he doing here?
I'm bringing my birthday party
to you guys.
I got hats
for the crowd.
Seriously?
So, who wants one?
The one that says "birthday boy"
is mine.
Are we gonna
play kick-the-can, or what?
With booger boy?
Yes, with booger boy.
Sorry, J.J.
Okay, I'll be it,
so that way,
we don't have to
shoot it out again.
[ laughter ]
seriously?
26, 27...
28, 29...
30.
What are you doing?
You're supposed to be
hiding.
There's no way I'm hiding
with
J.J. and the beast
on the loose.
I'm sticking with you.
[ groans ] fine.
Keep your eyes out
for nancy.
She shouldn't be
hard to spot.
No, you keep your eyes out
for nancy.
I'm keeping mine on
you-know-who.
[ clanging ]
what the heck was that?
The can, Eugene.
One of the clowns
must've kicked it.
Come on.
[ clunking ]
[ heavy breathing ]
so, who kicked the can?
Nobody kicked it.
Nobody was even in prison.
Well,
somebody kicked it.
I mean,
look at this thing.
Nancy: hey,
where's booger boy?
J.J., you freakazoid!
Get out here!
He probably
kicked the can and went home
because everyone
was picking on him.
Or maybe
the beast got him.
Yeah.
Maybe the beast
ate booger boy.
Cut it out, you guys.
Enough with the beast already.
Adam: Yeah, I say we just
forget about J.J.
And keep playing the game.
Is everyone in?
All: yes.
[ owl hoots ]
[ clanking ]
[ gasps ]
that's it.
I've had it with Dougie.
I swear I'm gonna
cram that can up his nose!
It's not Dougie,
is it?
It's the beast,
isn't it?
And he's really playing
kick-the-can?
Yep.
Only he's definitely
not playing by the rules.
[ heavy breathing ]
[ wolf howls ]
come on, Dougie!
Enough is enough!
[ sighs ]
just
get out here already!
I'm done with
this stupid game.
Emma and I are
going back to our tent
to have some cupcakes.
Later, fools.
Did anybody see where
Dougie and Travis
were hiding?
Yeah. they were down by
the sewer pipe.
Come on.
Let's go find them.
Hey.
Mm?
[ branch snaps ]
what was that?
Look.
Adam: they're deer prints,
Eugene.
There are deer
all over these woods.
I don't know, Adam.
These are kind of big
to be deer prints.
You know what?
You're right.
They're not deer prints.
They're cow prints.
What? There's
no cows in these woods.
No, but there's
a cow leg.
Dougie's canteen.
Give me the flashlight.
Hey, Dougie!
We know you and Travis
are hiding in there.
So why don't you just
give it up and come out
so we can
finish playing the game?
[ roar ]
cow hoof, my butt!
That's the beast!
I'm telling you guys --
it's Dougie.
Listen.
[ roars ]
[ roar echoes ]
[ screaming ]
Eugene!
Come on!
The beast
got Shauna and Jen,
and that's
all that's left of them --
one stinking shoe
and a hair clip.
That is
Shauna's sneaker.
And that's definitely
Jen's hair clip.
And they're both sitting in
a puddle of tomato juice
from Dougie's cow leg.
But you just said Dougie was
in the sewer pipe.
I bet there are
two openings to that pipe.
If that's tomato juice,
stick your finger in there
and taste it.
I'm not tasting
dirty tomato juice.
You are if you're gonna
prove that you're right.
Fine. [ sighs ]
girl:
the beast is after us!
That's Shauna and Jen,
and I bet
they're with
Dougie and Travis.
I say we split up
and try to catch these guys
at their own game.
Okay,
I'm telling you guys,
if we just stay quiet
and hidden for a few minutes,
Dougie will surface.
I hate to say this,
but...
We don't have
very many minutes left.
What do you mean?
It's 11:30,
and in a half an hour,
it's gonna be midnight.
And what happens then --
you turn into a pumpkin
or something?
No.
We'd all turn into
the beast's stew.
Don't you get it?
It's the beast's
anniversary.
He's probably trying to
eat his way
through the neighborhood
before midnight.
And where did you
get that idea?
All: Dougie.
Great.
I don't want to
wait out here
for another
half an hour.
Girl:
help us! Somebody help us!
Look.
Nancy even left us a trail.
Dougie must've been
planning this for weeks,
and now he's
got everyone in on it.
And I bet you they're all
hiding in this pipe.
Whoa. check it out.
There is another exit
to this sewer pipe.
Stacey: eww.
I think I
stepped on something.
I thought you said
there was no well!
I mean, "how do you hide
a 3,000-pound tunnel
made out of stone?"
Does this
answer your question?!
Well, at least
you were wrong
about
the anniversary part,
because
we're all still alive.
I think we ought to
get out of here.
Boy:
Hey, guys! Down here!
It's Dougie.
Hey,
Dougie, you jerk!
What are you doing
down there?
I'm not so sure
that was Dougie.
I am.
[ squeaks ]
aah!
It was just a lizard,
Eugene.
No, that wasn't
a lizard.
That was
Elvira Leeds' husband,
Jimmy Leeds' father,
the three-headed newt.
I'm telling you,
that was him!
You're out of your mind.
I'm out of my mind?
You are hanging over
the side of
Jimmy Leeds' well,
and I'm the crazy one?
I don't think so, pal!
I can't believe
you're doing this.
Just lower us slowly.
And get us up fast.
[ pulley creaking ]
this really is
Jimmy Leeds' well.
Let's get out of here.
Eugene,
get us out of here!
Eugene!
Chris!
What's going on
up there?
As soon as I
get up there, stace,
I'll crank you up,
I promise.
Just make it fast.
[ rope creaks ]
Eugene?
Chris?
[ grunts ]
[ screams ]
stacey?
Are you okay?
What's going on down there?
J.J.: I'll tell you
what's going on down here.
The Beast of Baskerville
is throwing
a little party,
and your
stupid friend stacey
just got herself invited.
Am I talking to myself,
or do you hear me up there?
Adam: Calm down, J.J.
Calm down!?
It's 12:30 already.
The beast's party is gonna be
over in 22 minutes.
Did the beast
drag you down?
No! I got
tossed down here.
Everyone else
got dragged.
Why don't you climb down here
and try to save everybody?
There's no time.
We need help.
I'm gonna
go get your mom.
[ deep voice ] no!
J.J.?
[ heavy breathing ]
[ roars ]
Adam: [ screams ]
if you wake up my mother,
I will
rip your lungs out!
Just don't eat me!
I'm not going to eat you.
I'm gonna take you to
that birthday party
you were
trying to get out of.
You're taking me to
J.J.'s party?
I am J.J.
James Joseph Leeds.
I only turn into the beast
at the hour of my birth,
which is 10:58 p.m.
I stay that way
until sunrise,
at which point,
I turn back into a human.
But how come you're not
like 200 years old
during the day?
13 Romanian witches
cursed me.
So when I'm human,
I'm eternally stuck at that age,
which really stinks,
because I can never grow up --
unless, of course,
I break the curse.
And how do you do that?
By throwing myself
a birthday party.
So all you have to do
to break the curse
is to get 13 humans to
sing "happy birthday" to you?
Yeah. in Romanian.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
[ growls ]
[ grunts ]
only one kid has to sing,
really.
But 13 people
have to be there
and watch me
blow out my candles
before the 13th hour.
Then I can
live a normal life.
I only get
one shot at this
every 13th year,
after the full moon,
on the 13th day of the month
before my birth.
Do you have any idea
how hard it is
to keep track of
that stuff?
Good thing I'm a genius.
[ all grunting ]
[ growls ]
oh, my gosh.
Is he okay?
Yeah, he's fine.
He just passed out
when I grabbed him,
and, uh, I don't know --
I didn't bother
tying him up.
Okay. just let me
ask you this one question.
What?
What's with
all the elephants?
Oh. nothing.
I just
really like elephants.
Listen to me, guys.
The beast
is really J.J. --
James Joseph Leeds.
And J.J.'s mom
really is Elvira.
J.J. does not like
being the beast,
and he's not the beast
all the time.
He only turns into the beast
at 10:58 p.m.
Right?
Right.
J.J. wants to be normal.
The only way
that can happen
is by breaking the curse.
And the only way
that can happen
is if I sing him
"Happy Birthday" in Romanian.
And you guys --
you just have to
watch him
blow out his candles.
You got it?
[ all murmur in agreement ]
♪ Multa traiasca,
multa traiasca ♪
♪ La multa... ♪
"Jimmy" now, right?
Yeah.
I have to say,
I'm pretty impressed.
You learn very quickly.
Thanks, I just
really don't want to die.
Ah.
♪ Jimmy sa traiasca ♪
♪ La multa -- ♪
[ gasps ]
what did I tell you
about birthday parties?
What are you trying to do,
get rid of me?
No, mommy. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it, mommy.
Sorry isn't good enough.
As soon as I
get close to Mrs. Leeds,
you've got to
get her attention.
This better not
get me killed.
...a stinking,
hairy imbecile!
Hey, Mrs. Leeds,
do you think it's possible
if we could get
some, uh, cake or something
before you, you know --
blow, Jimmy! Blow!
[ blowing ]
yes! I did it!
You did it, all right!
It's dead time for you,
mister.
Adam, watch out!
[ groaning sigh ]
[ inhales deeply ]
it's not over, is it?
Let's just say the legend
is about to live on.
Hey, Jimmy, so,
what are you gonna do
now that, you know --
my dad's still here.
Yeah,
but he's a newt.
Not anymore.
He should be
human again.
Finally, we'll get to
do something together
besides catching bugs.
That's cool.
[ chuckles ]
I bet you were born at 1:17,
huh, Dougie?
Yeah. why?
[ laughter ]
girl: what's going on?
[ kids murmuring ]
and what about you,
nancy?
About the same?
[ gasps ]
what's going on,
Jimmy?
In the witch club
my mother belonged to,
there was
no curse-breaking,
just
curse-transference.
That means that
you guys are now cursed.
Every day
at the hour of your births,
you'll all
turn into beasts.
But don't worry.
13 years after
the moon is full,
on the 13th day of the month
before your birthday,
you'll know what to do
to get out of it.
What?
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, I'm just
messing with you.
[ sighs ]
you don't have to worry about
the moon.
[ all scream ]
see you later, suckers!
[ both scream ]
[ screaming continues ]
